I'm picturing Sir Paul losing his mind after Ono comments on how much DRIVING RAIN sucked and then, seeming to pull it out of nowhere, Paul beats Yoko over the head with his ex-wife's artificial leg. It's at this point that, also out of nowhere, Ono plucks a white card out of her blouse and the word "kill" is written in very tiny black font along with a droplet of plastic Ono blood from the McCartney beating (the camera struggles to focus in on the card after Ono flashes it at the camera), at which point, we hear a high-pitched Ono scream and her say, "Every man has an amputee that hates him!!!" and she lunges for him--then we see Larry King, jaw dropped, look at the camera with a fearful look on his face, and then his logo pops up on the screen suddenly and it's off to commercial--strangely, for Head On. In a bizarrely related note, I told mom this morning over coffee that it would be a hoot to go to the colon/rectal doctor and find George Harrison's ALL THINGS MUST PASS vinyl cover art framed, hanging in the waiting room, at which she turned to me and said (she remembered the album from her days of selling it) with a "you're not sane" smile on her face, slowly, "O-Kay".... - --Mark, really enjoying the new Jarvis Cocker album--he's gotten rid of his Mark E.

Joan Jett rewrote "EMI" as "MCA" to suit her own story. Which reminds me, anybody bring up Lynryd Skynyrd's "Workin' For MCA"? By the way, "Gold" was a hit in 1979 for John Stewart. I always found it a sincere song, maybe because John Stewart scared the crap out of me performing it for millions of viewers nationwide. I'll leave you the lyrics and you can draw your own conclusions. Now what *I* wanna know is, why does Mr. Stewart feel the need to repeatedly automotively mangle an obscure(?) anime character... Andy Gold John Stewart When the lights go down in the California town, People are in for the evening. I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar, My heart beatin' time with my breathin'. Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul, There's people out there turnin' music into gold. Well my buddy Jim Bass he's a-workin' pumpin gas, And he makes two fifty for an hour. He's got rythm in his hands as he's tappin' on the cans, Sings rock and roll in the shower. Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul, There's people out there turnin' music into gold. Ah the California girls are the greatest in the world, Each one's a song in the making. Singin' rock to me I can hear the melody, The story is there for the takin'. Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul, There's people out there turnin' music into gold. Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul, There's people out there turnin' music into gold. When the lights go down in the California town, People are in for the evening. I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar, My heart beatin' time with my breathin'. Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul, There's people out there turnin' music into gold.

I hope my brother gets it for my birthday present. "Well Andy," he says over the phone, "I'm going to Sonic Boom right now, and if it's there, you'll get it, and if it's not there, you'll get something else." Aren't siblings endlessly delightful? Andy "The biggest different between a collector and a fan is that the former will tell you that one of the B-sides to, say, 'Panic' is the live instrumental 'The Draize Train,' while the latter will tell you that 'Panic' is a really fucking awesome song. In other words, a collector would kill for the rarest release by a band; a fan would kill for the band." - --John Sellers, from PERFECT FROM NOW ON: HOW INDIE ROCK SAVED MY LIFE ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2007 23:26:21 EDT From: Scout82667@aol.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] A Beatle reunion (sorta) !

Andy For a minute there, I thought your brother was going to THE Sonic Boom--the musician, for this. I don't know. My sister's an uptight homophobic bitch with her head in the sand who hasn't spoken to my mother or I for over three years, and my brother is decent, but too constrained by outdated Eisenhower era W.A.S.P. middle class ideologies, which he seems to buy into. Of course, it's so easy to say this and come across all black turtlenecked cafe smug and superior when I live at home with my mom (but I do pay her rent--without it, she'd lose the house, so I'm not a deadbeat son). - --Mark, digging the album BOXER by The National ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V7 #147 *******************************
